All Trump said was he fails to comprehend why the American Jewish community does not regard support for Israel as it’s top priority. The answer to that is too many on the Jewish community define their Judaism by the Democratic agenda

Haile Sofer, head of the "Jewish Democratic Council of America" seems on great terms with Ilhan Omar:

She recently mentioned a poll by her group that claimed Israel was #9 in the electoral priorities of American Jews, well behind climate change and diversity.

Good riddance! The Israelis are signaling that they will do whatever however and whenever to prevent another 10/7

Trump was inadvisably rude about American Jews? I would have been much ruder in my remarks. All too many American "Jews" have converted to the progressive religion.

The Torah is the greatest book of human psychology ever written over time. Every foible of humanity is in it.

As for Trump - he's not antisemitic. He's rightfully disgusted with stupid, self defeating sheep who are so desperate to be in The Better Class of People that they will swallow the most virulent antisemitism in seven decades- and swan about it. To paraphrase a New Testament joke awhile back in The Babylon Bee, many biblical parables use sheep as an example- because they are really, really stupid. Jews voting for their own craven desire for Inclusion are sheep.

"If they don't like you for what you are, why will they like you for pretending to be what you are not?"

Should be the real motto of "progressive" Jews

So when will the US pay Israel the $7 million bounty on Aqil's head?

And cut off aid to Egypt since they had to know about the Philadelphi tunnels - but it's so convenient to stick the Israelis with your dirty proxy war while you suck up to your Arab brethren. What a waste of money.

"But voting has as much to do with identity and emotion, both of which the Democrats are skilled at appealing to, as it does with issues."

But when you vote for other members of your group to be liquidated, normal people will develop a distaste for you. In my insignificant opinion, Trump is performing a valuable service here.

Trump's beneficence toward the Jews is being spat upon by some of the beneficiaries. This does not go unnoticed.

Trump does not excel at nuance.

And thank God.

He sometimes reminds me of my teenager who has a knack of cutting through the BS and calling things as he sees them. Sometimes it is shocking, but it nearly always hits the nail on the head.

In some corners it’s called common sense, a quality desperately lacking in our culture today. And whenever it appears it is like a refreshing breath of air!

Should the potential leader of the free world be so candid? About some issues, most definitely not.

But about this particular subject, I don’t see why not. I think it puts the issue under a spotlight because many beside just the former President who recognize the existential battle at stake, scratch their heads over it as well. I also will take his bluntness any day over the usual “political-speak pandering” most politicians always just mouth.

Thanks for reminding me of Kinky Friedman and Ride 'em, Jew Boy. I'm a rancher, and a senior research scientist working in medical academia. It's been quite a year. In the end trying to make ourselves acceptable to the leftist Marxists and Maoists like Kamala will not avail us. Trump is right. It takes a special kind of idiocy to support people who hate you for existing. I prefer to live among people who speak plainly and live in the real world, and who will show up to help you pull a calf or run the marauders off the ranch. Kamala tells pretty lies. Trump gracelessly speaks the truth.

From Hezbollah, via the Jerusalem Post, 13 Hezbollah senior commanders (including Ibrahim Akil, the top one) killed in Friday's airstrike, with list of names:

It now appears they were all journalists and identified as women.
